The Inspector's rugged IP67-protected metal housing ensures it can withstand harsh industrial and production line environments, for quality assurance inspection in any location or orientation.
An increasing number of tasks are demanding the supply of more information on objects and products.
Typical examples of this can be found in parcel, express and courier services or electronic production.
2-D codes are becoming increasingly important as there is only limited space for placing linear bar-code designations on most of the objects involved.
In addition to the well-known CLV series for 1-D codes, the TFIR 3100 from SICK now offers an efficient 2-D reading device for stationary object identification.
The codes are read using the CCD (charge-coupled device) process familiar from video technology: coding is recorded as in a camera and evaluated within the device.
All system relevant components, i.e the optics, camera, lighting unit, decoder card, and serial and digital interfaces - are contained within its compact housing.
The decisive advantage of the TFIR 3100 is that the device not only identifies 2-D codes, but also all common 1-D codes - regardless of their alignment on the object.
